Great idea, flawed execution (This review applies to single player only) [Posted on 2006-04-06]
I enjoyed Jedi Outcast, so I bought this as well.
The various features they added to the game are welcome additions, but the frame rate in this game is simply terrible. I have a fairly high end mac setup (Dual G5) with plenty of memory, I toyed with the video and sound settings, I downloaded the patch, but my frame rate is probably around 15-20 fps. Any time I switch weapons or kill someone I get noticable chop.
I don't know what engine changes they made, but Jedi Academy definitely does not play as well as Jedi Outcast.
Of the levels that I have played, I think the level design is a little weak. Between this and the frame rate, it is doubtful that I will even bother finishing it.
Good Star Wars, as always! [Posted on 2006-11-05]
You'll have great fun! As always, an excelent Star Wars adaptation. You feel in the star wars univers form the beginning on. Great fun!

I am the typical Star Wars Geek and I love to play the classics including Dark Forces, X-Wing, and Battle Front. Jedi Academy really lived up to my expectations of the Star Wars legend. The game's platform is very easy to understand and get used to and a lot of fun once you get into it. I couldn't stop playing!! This is a must for any Star Wars gamer who just loves to twirl a lightsaber around!
Oooohh... I like it! [Posted on 2007-10-24]
This game is awesome. I personally enjoy that I can become a dark power, because I am evil at heart. The game is choppy when used on an Intel based MacBook, but there is a UB patch available that fixes that issue entirely. Horrible graphics, fun game, kinda reminds me of an interactive Doom 2. Addicting. Buy it, its worth it.
Loads of fun [Posted on 2007-12-27]
this game is quite fun because of the freedom in chosing what missions you want to go on, its also fun to spawn npc characters and watch them duke it out on your favorite maps. the story is a little thin, but the game has so much sith-slashing action that it didnt really matter to me.
